First post, by Jens
Hello everybody!
First let me say "I LOVE DOSBOX!" I'm using it for years with 150+ antique astronomy programs, oldest from 1985, and everything works.
E.g.: I'm more or less familiar with the Box. On the other hand I'm a networking dummie...
To my recent "project": I want to surf the www with Win3.11.
I'm running Dosbox under WinXP, going online via Wifi. In Doxbos runs Win 3.11 with installed TCP/IP and different Browsers with Dialup functionality for a modem (even tried Trumpet). Win 3.11 says that it detects a modem (must be my correct conf-setting = serial1:modem), the Dosbox IPXserver has my computers IP and is running. At this point nothing more happens. When dialing some random-number, like 0-1234, the emulated modem tries to get a line and returns "no carrier". I tried every possible setting, fiddled around for hours, overselpt it, ... not a single bit from the www. I'm stuck.
What can I do?
Thanks for some wise advise.
Jens
P.S: (maybe stupid) Dosbox emulates a modem, but it detects and uses my "real" Wifi, does it?
Do I have to install a non-existing dummy-hardware modem (any? which?) in Win3.11, too? I want to set-up the old Windows as close to the original as possible, e.g. without anything younger than ... say 1995 = without 32bit or NT software...
